Global increases in duration and prevalence of droughts require detailed drought characterization at various spatial and temporal scales. In this study, drought severity in Xinjiang, China was investigated between 1961 and 2012. Using meteorological data from 55 weather stations, the UNEP (1993) index (IA), Erinç’s aridity index (Im), and Sahin’s aridity index (Ish) were calculated at the monthly and annual timescales and compared to the Penman-Monteith based standard precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEIPM). Drought spatiotemporal variability was analyzed for north (NX), south (SX), and entire Xinjiang (EX). Im could not be calculated at 51 stations in winter as Tmax was below 0. At the monthly timescale, IA, Im, and Ish correlated poorly to SPEIPM because of seasonality and temporal variability, but annual IA, Im, and Ish correlated well with SPEIPM. Annual IA, Im, and Ish showed strong spatial variability. The 15 extreme droughts denoted by monthly SPEIPM occurred in NX but out of phase in SX. Annual precipitation, maximum temperature, and relative and specific humidity increased, while air pressure and potential evapotranspiration decreased over 1961–2012. The resulting increases in the four drought indices indicated that drought severity in Xinjiang decreased, because the local climate became warmer and wetter.
Abstract The depth‐time structure of low‐frequency subsurface current and density fluctuations in central Strait of Georgia is described. The measurements were made between February and May, 1981 with profiling Cyclesondes. The depth range of approximately 50 to 290 m was sampled in water depths of about 325 m. The mean current was cross‐strait and decreased with depth. The low‐frequency current fluctuations occurred predominantly at periods exceeding a week and also decreased with depth. Below about 200 m, there was an increasing tendency for the fluctuations to be aligned with the local topography. The maximum vertical separation for components of current to be significantly coherent was 100 m and was in the lowest frequency band. Currents separated by 4.1 km in the horizontal were correlated in the more energetic north‐south component. 相似文献
The Xigaze ophiolite (29.2°N, 89.5°E), which outcrops in the Yarlung Zangbo suture zone, represents the remnants of an oceanic lithosphere formed in middle Cretaceous times between the Lhasa block to the north and the Indian plate to the south. In an attempt to define the paleo-orientation and latitude of the spreading center at which it has been created, a paleomagnetic study has been done on three sites in volcanics and overlying (or interbedded) radiolarites forming the upper part of the ophiolite sequence and also on seven sites in the Xigaze Group flysch which stratigraphically overlies the volcanics to the north. In each site, hand-blocks carefully oriented both with sun and magnetic compass have been sampled. The paleomagnetism data, combined with structural data on the ophiolite dolerite intrusives, allow a partial reconstruction of South Eurasia at the time of formation of the Xigaze ophiolite. The paleolatitude of accretion and deposition of the Xigaze ophiolite and overlying sediments is found to be 10–20°N. Both ophiolite and basin have encountered a 85 ± 20° anti-clockwise rotation. The corresponding ridge was close to the southern margin of the Lhasa block and was oriented N175 ± 25°. 相似文献
